 from the base, apex rounded, exterior margin slightly concave in the middle, waved ; 

 posterior margin long and nearly straight ; first subcostal branch emitted at fully 

 one-fourth before end of the cell, second at one-tenth before the end, third at 

 two-fifths beyond the end ; cell extending to half length of the wing, closed ; upper 

 discocellular short, middle discocellular concave, lower discocellular waved and 

 slender; middle median veinlet emitted at some distance before lower end of the 

 cell, middle and lower medians wide apart ; submedian vein nearly straight. 

 Hindwing rather short, broadly triangularly-ovate; apex and exterior margin oblique 

 and very convex, scalloped ; abdominal margin long ; cell area broad, open ; 

 precostal vein stout, incurved ; second subcostal branch and the radial both emitted 

 from the first subcostal at nearly equal distances from the costal vein. Body
